About This Home

As of August 2015

This absolutely charming English Cottage, nestled behind tall boxwood hedges and dogwoods, has been carefully updated maintaining its period architectural integrity. A gracious foyer, with oak staircase leading to a wide landing with window sesat, opens to large formal living and dining rooms, both with gleaming hardwood floors. The front-to-back living room features a brick wood-burning fireplace flanked by doors to the generous family area. Both rooms overlook the rear stone terrace and lush landscaped grounds with more boxwood hedges and a majestic stand of evergreens. The kitchen with beautiful wood cabinetry, professional Viking range, Subzero refrigerator, and farmhouse sink opens to the elliptical window-walled breakfast area and bar area with wine cooler. Upstairs are three corner bedrooms including a master with walk-in closet and marble bath with air-jet tub. The hall bath with stackable laundry has also been remodeled with period taste. On the third floor is a fourth bedroom or multi-purpose room with stone wall, built-in bookcases, and full tiled bath. This is truly a wonderful period home nestled amongst fabulous mature gardens.
